Employment Service establishment pilots, where new arrivals will help to link newcomers with Swedish society, was shut down. After a review, the Employment Service Director General Michael Sjöberg decided that the service should be terminated. The reason is that it had received indications of both criminal activities as extortion, threats and recruitment into terrorist groups.

We have also encountered discussions about the existence of recruitment into violent fighting groups. There is the question under discussion with the security police, says Mikael Sjoberg.

In total, there are more than 32,000 job seekers in contact with establishment pilots today. Employment Service has a contract with approximately 350 working pilots.

…Now we see what appears to be serious organized crime. We get indications that there is smuggling linked to the system. We have several cases where we have received indications that included death threats and extortion.
